NO stranger to controversy, Lady Gaga has caused outrage once again by brandishing a machine-gun bra just a month after twenty six people were killed in a US school massacre.

The popstar donned the outfit, consisting of two plastic assault rifles strapped to each cup, during her concert in Vancouver, Canada.

But critics have suggested the garb is insensitive and in poor taste after 20 children and six adults were killed in a horrific massacre at Connecticut's Sandy Hook primary school on December 14 last year.

Given the way other shootings, or "attempted" shootings have been ended by good upstanding citizens with their own firearms, it is my belief that this tragedy could have been prevented by a competent sane adult with a firearm being in the vicinity.

As such, I find the government's attempt to pass stricter gun laws to be "insensitive" in light of the recent tragedy.
